Dr . George 0. Kennedy, 



Bear Doctor, 



Have your Roman le- 



gions marched forth to battle with the s torms of the New England 

 winters this year ?Is Buxbammia as abundant in the locality where 

 you found it last year ? If it is, will you send me some more f 

 I want to have it photographed, as a n experiment, and I want to 

 send some to Willaim Hamilton GFibson, whose charming books you 

 must be familiar with. The last one especiall y, on the edible fun- 

 gi is perfectly delightful. I want to ^ initiate him into some of 

 the beauti^yfes of the Mosses, and see if he wont make some pretty 

 pictures for us of them. I shall be much obliged to you if you can 

 help me in this matter. 



Very sincerely yours,
